12 Oct 11: Using Own Inner Light, Independence, Colors of Love and Compassion, and The Flow (Meditation)

From yesterday's meditation:

I was first shown a scene at a beach where there was a large pile of rocks next to a cliff overlooking the ocean.  There were many people sitting high up on these rocks looking up towards the sun.  There were many more people down below trying to figure out how to climb up to the others.  They were all looking forward to the Age of Light and wanted to be embraced fully by the light and warmth of the sun.  Those on top began to extend their hands to help the others up safely.  They were not worried about the possible lack of room on top when the other people joined them. They would make room no matter what because it was everyone's right to experience this oneness with the light.  The people all sat on top and had smiles as they communicated to the light and enjoyed the sun's rays upon their faces.  Then dark clouds moved in, completely blocking out the light.  The people looked at each other wondering what to do.  Should they climb back down and try again another day?  How was it even possible that such a glorious light be blocked in the first place?

Then a woman looked down at her solar plexus area and gasped.  She had so much light shining through.  She pointed for the others to look at their own bodies and they too had brilliant light shining out.  They didn't need to look to external sources.  All they had to do was look to themselves!  This light could never be dimmed.  It was in them and all around them.  They were their own perfect resource.  Heaven was already present everywhere, including within them.

Then I heard a smart alecky voice (probably my own) ask, "Well what about murderers, rapists, muggers, abusers, and all the other negative people of this world?  You're trying to say that they too have this brilliant light shining through them?  If so, how could they possibly hurt others the way they do?"  The answer came back as YES.  Yes, they too have the light.  But these people do not live with conscious awareness of this light even though it shines brilliantly within them.  Instead, these people live completely in their heads where fear, the desire for power, pain, anger, and all the other negative emotions of the ego reside.  It's as if their bodies have been split into two different apartments where the light resides down below in the core of the body, and upper apartment is dark and condemned.  They have the same light as we do and the same capability of wholeness.  Yet, they've been sucked into the depths of ego and haven't found a way out of that very dark place.

The next scene shown to me was very familiar because I had just seen something very similar to it for a client I read for this week.  A woman stood in a cave and looked back at many eager people waiting for her to make a move.  They were attracted to her light and wanted her to guide them safely out of this dark cave.  She was being put into the role of a leader or way-shower.  This weighed heavily upon her shoulders, even though she knew her light was shining forth brilliantly and was meant to help others.  I was then told that yes, it's meant to be and fine to lead.  What is not fine, however, is when you're constantly called upon to lead others (particularly the same people) over and over again.  Someone in this position would find that it's most beneficial to all involved if they would also become a spiritual teacher and teach others to look to their own light so that they may learn to depend on themselves and their own resources, rather than constantly looking to sources outside of themselves.  The leader-follower situation can then become a team of peers together consciously bringing more light forth to the world.  It really is too much for one person among groups to always be expected to show the way.  A group together, however, can create miraculous results!

The scene switched and I was shown faces of people with a most gorgeous rose colored aura around them with a blending of yellow and orange.  These were the colors of love and compassion, which also brought in elements of Divinely inspired creativity, confidence, and an acceptance of self.  After all, if you cannot even accept yourself, how can you truly say you have acceptance, love, and tolerance for others?  You are your best friend, your greatest love, and even your greatest challenge.  Should you desire to "feel" whole (which you already are in truth), just imagine these beautiful colors swirling all around you and infusing you with the gifts they bring.

The last scene to come to me was of a woman bobbing up and down with the waves of the ocean.  She started to panic at first because the currents were taking her far from where she had entered the water.  She tried with all her might to swim back, but it was exhausting and she wasn't getting anywhere despite her hard work and best efforts.  All she did was wind up further and further away, was winded, and feeling her muscles become fatigued.  When she let go and let the flow take her, she discovered something else.  She suddenly felt euphoric!  Pulled away from her comfort zone, she found a strange calm as she quit trying to control the situation.  She felt at one with the ocean and the sky.  She did not know where she was going or what she would encounter along the way, but without her mind screaming to have that comfort zone back, she actually found herself looking to a new adventure.
